(...) Hi, Huw, Could you please give me the address of this "Hamleys"? I'm in London next week, and if Regent street is not too far off the places we want to see (Near Regents Park maybe?), then I could drop in for a visit. Yours, Christian (22 years ago, 26-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.uk)

(...) What I find strange is the two windows being so close together there's no room for shutters, and more importantly, the grey round plate in the column is a brick too high. Lego would never publish a photo of a set with a mistake like that. Duq (22 years ago, 25-May-04, to lugnet.general)
